Eons ago the great glaciers stopped their forward movement and began to recede. Where they stopped they pushed up large hills of earth and created areas referred to as terminal moraine. One such area north and west of Edmonton and Stony Plain is known as the Glory Hills and is home to Duffy's Challenge.

Duffy's Challenge is an executive par 3 golf course located on the south slope of the Glory hills only minutes north of Stony Plain, Alberta. These hills and ponds create the landscape for a beautiful challenging round of golf. Many of the18 holes have multiple tees, which by the very nature of a par 3 change those holes dramatically.

Full size golf courses generally have multiple tee locations, however in most cases the hole changes very little as your first club is usually the same. On a par 3, different tee locations almost invariably bring a completely different club into play. Duffy's Challenge was built to emulate the larger championship courses. The challenges include playing across deep valleys, through chutes, up hills, down hills, across water and over trees.
